Very good question. I happen to see this beast installed, without my help. Maybe unknown.
Maybe through ask tracker toolbar. When using ask-remover a trojan had been installed. At least alarmed. I am about to deinstall ask.

Access to our local television station denied(entertainment). btw: we dont have an alternative.

There are instructions how to deinstall. but they look like it will still be there but only deactivated.

I WANT IT COMPLETELY REMOVED!
Thanks a lot.
